This etching, titled "Marc de Wilson", was created by Nicolas Regnesson in the mid-17th century. It depicts a portrait of Marc de Wilson within an oval frame, surrounded by a heraldic crest. The crest features a lion, a wild man holding a club, and a coat of arms at the bottom. The etching is a prime example of 17th-century portraiture, showcasing a combination of detailed realism and allegorical symbolism, common in European art during that era. This work is currently held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
